You know you are in the Army when...

The Broadcasters have a board in the room, and we started a "You know you are in the Army when..." list. Many people wrote their thoughts on this board. So here they go:

1. You feel naked without a rifle. SPC Logue2. You get a letter in the mail that says "Go to war, or go to jail." SGT Pflieger3.You spend more time with your battle buddy then with your family. SPC Fardette4. Your boots actually smell like rotting meat.5. You ask your wife if she has her CAC card when you go to dinner. 1SG Logan6. When a day doesn't go by that you ask if the person you just passed was a male or female.7. When you're in another country and can't get away from Texans -SSG Burrell8. Someone asks you where you are from, and you can't really say where....9. You've been to many countries and never needed a passport. SGT Saslav10. You're scared to pet a puppy.11.
